Chapter 422: Van Gundy's Dangerous Move

"Ann's big hook! entered, Morris still didn't react, he thought Ann was going to shake his shoulders! ā€

"Ann broke through! Stop, half-turn jumper, and go in again! Oh my god, have you ever seen an inside line who can cut Morris on the head like this!? ā€

"Storm buckle! Anjie easily walked to the basket this time, and Morris was already beaten by his good buddy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThis guy who has a strong defense can't defend at all! Morris doesn't dare to make any moves right now, and as soon as he reacts, Angel will use another way to avoid the defense and attack the basket. From his college days, Morris knew that Anjie was very well-rounded. It's just that he didn't expect that this guy has reached this point in an all-round way.

The feet, shoulders, head, and An Jie's whole body are feints! Breakouts, hooks, jumpers, dunks, Anjie can score in any way.

In the beginning, Wesley. Matthews' strong offense led the Thunder players to think that the Trail Blazers were going to give up on the interior offense. But now, they would rather deal with the two Matthews than let An Jie's crazy performance continue!

Seven minutes into the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the mighty Thunder by eight points at home! If it had been longer, the difference would have been widened to double digits.

However, the temporary victory did not make Rickard hot-headed, and although Anjie's dominant performance was too much for the Thunder to handle, he still replaced Anjie on time.

Anjie has proved his form in just a few minutes, and Calder can safely put Anjie on the court at a crucial moment.

"Don't use the experience of the last game to defend Ann, defend at your own discretion." The tortured Morris and Anjie went down at the same time. Van Gundy said that to him, which proves that the arrangement he made for An Jie has completely failed!

Anjie didn't play according to any "offensive habits" at all today, this guy proved that as long as you are versatile enough, you don't need any damn offensive habits at all. He can score any way he can, and Morris can't guess all his moves.

When Anjie was off the court, the offensive banner of the Trail Blazers naturally fell on Aldridge's shoulders. Aldridge, who has scored more than Anjie in two consecutive games, was slightly inefficient by Ibaka's defense today.

Originally, after An Jie left the court, the offensive points of the Trail Blazers were very rare. Now that Aldridge is on fire, the Trail Blazers' originally strong offense has instantly stalled.

As a result, Rickard had to take Conteny. Lee and Crawford took it early. Rickard proved to be the right choice, and the Thunder then bombarded the Trail Blazers' basket. Durant and Westbrook didn't shoot well today, but these two guys relied on unreasonable crazy shots to continue to score.

It's good that Jamal. Crawford & Contney. Li was able to return color on the offensive end, otherwise An Jie's hard-won advantage would be consumed.

20-26, at the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers still held a six-point advantage. This internode break for Jeff. Van Gundy must have had a tough time because he had to figure out a way to contain Anjie's attack.

Shrink and force Anjie to pass. This is the present Jeff. Van Gundy was the only solution he could come up with. Aldridge's shooting didn't feel very good today, so Jeff. Van Gundy dared to use such a defensive strategy. Now whether it is Crawford or Aldridge, they are not as dangerous as Anjie!

The second quarter had a quiet start to the game. The second lineup of the two teams played inextricably and had back and forth. However, Bledsoe and Batum still relied on their superior offensive ability to further narrow the gap to four points.

On one offense, Bledsoe was tricked into a jump block by Crawford's Bever. And just then, Crawford leaned into Bledsoe's body and drew a foul from beyond the three-point line.

At the same time, An Jie, who was sitting on the ground in front of the technical desk, stood up suddenly. He quickly took off his training uniform and was ready to play!

"Brush." On the first penalty, Crawford was able to throw the ball in a quiet environment with the cooperation of the fans, and Anjie walked onto the court to meet the breathless Marcus Marcus. Camby high-fived. All eyes fell on him, and Crawford, even though he had just completed a beautiful foul from beyond the three-point line, was now reduced to a supporting role.

After two free throws, Crawford made solid shots. Bledsoe, who received the baseline ball, was a little less excited and a little more nervous. Now he has to face, but Anjie's defense!

Bledsoe's breakthrough was still fast, and the emaciated Crawford was directly pushed away by Bledsoe. Facing Angel, Bledsoe intends to distribute the ball to the outside in the air. However, Anjie's defensive range is so large that he doesn't even have room to pass the ball.

Reluctantly took the ball from Angel's armpit, which was not a good pass but was ambushed by Gerrard. Wallace steals. Bledsoe's shortcomings in critical moments began to show so early in the second quarter.

Conversion attack, experienced Steven Gerrard. Wallace staged a textbook breakaway in front of Bledsoe. He made Bledsoe realize how immature he was!

The offensive was Contney. Lee and Crawford quickly pulled to the two corners and advanced Gerrard with the ball. Wallace made a move to attack the frame, but in fact made a pass, allowing Contney. Lee easily hit a three-pointer in the open space. Before you know it, the difference between the two teams has come to 10 points!

Anjie had only been on the court for less than two minutes before forcing Jeff. Van Gundy used up a timeout. This guy is already one of the most dominant players in the league, but Jeff has seen countless storms and waves. Van Gundy, however, found something different from the strength of the Trail Blazers.

"Morris, when I was playing in college, Ann always scored the most points, right?" Surprisingly, Van Gundy didn't immediately lay out his tactics, but asked Morris a nonsensical question.

"Huh? Of course! We weren't a big team back then, unlike other universities that were full of talented players. There are only a few points in the whole team, and Ahn is the most confident person on the offensive end, so he often scores the most. Boss, I know Ann is very powerful, you don't need to remind me. "Morris misses the time when he fought alongside Anjie in college, but now is not the time to remember the past.

"Hmm......" Van Gundy thought for a moment, and then he glanced at Westbrook. Westbrook's UCLA had a lineup more than a notch better than Iowa State University without Morris. Similarly, the depth of the Thunder's roster right now isn't comparable to that of the Trail Blazers. Instead of focusing on An Jie, it is better to ......

"Listen man, let's play this ......" Van Gundy began to draw the tactical board, but the expressions of the Thunder players were not quite right.

Re-introduced, Ricard has already taken all of his starting five. Correspondingly, Jeff. Van Gundy didn't make any further reservations.

However, the Thunder's first offense after returning from a timeout made the Rose Garden fans feel particularly cheerful.

Westbrook conceded possession in a rare fit this time, handing the basketball to scoring champion Kevin just after halftime. Durant.

See Gerald. Wallace pounced on him with his teeth and claws, and Durant just calmly guarded the ball, watching for the opportunities that appeared around him.

Morris blocks and Ibakara gets to the middle distance. The interior has been vacated for Durant, and it's hard to see what kind of spark the scoring champion will have against the best defensive player.

Although Durant plays more without the ball in the Thunder, this does not mean that Durant's offense with the ball will be very poor.

He dribbled the ball to the left, only to suddenly use his amazingly long arm to retrieve it.

Such a wide range of changes to Gerald. Wallace couldn't slow down at all, and coupled with Morris's blocking, Durant only used one move to put Gerrard . Wallace has cleaned it up!

Decisively holding the ball to the basket, Anjie also struggled to defend the restricted area, hoping to contain the attack of Durant, a former teammate.

Durant stared at the basket and then at Westbrook's location. Although Durant's average points per game is terrifying, this does not mean that he only knows how to rush when he takes the ball like Westbrook. This guy's calmness and sense of teamwork are far better than people think.

Durant didn't jump, but suddenly stopped! The pull-up jump shot in the breakthrough is Durant's most common and efficient offensive method!

Just when Anjie and the Trail Blazers were all focused on Durant, he suddenly turned into a pass. That's when it became clear that Westbrook was left unattended outside the three-point line!

Without hesitation, Westbrook picked up and threw after receiving the ball. Felton had already covered his head in annoyance, but Anjie didn't give up, he was approaching the basket, hoping to protect the rebound!

The ball flew in a flat arc and Westbrook's pitching power was used heavily, but it didn't seem to be in place with the wrist press.

"Bell!" With a crisp sound, Westbrook's shot hit the neck of the basket and missed!

"Hey!" Van Gundy gritted his teeth, and there won't be a few such opportunities in this game. Westerbrook, however, didn't get it.

Because Westbrook's shooting power was so strong, Morris, who was stuck under the basket, lost the favorable position to fight for rebounds. Durant is ready to compete with An Jie, but in terms of the ability to compete for rebounds, how can the scoring champion compete with An Jie?

Jumping high to pick up the rebound, Anjie handed the ball to Raymond. Felton. The Trail Blazers' offense was simple, and Filton handed the basketball to Angel when he was in position. An Jie held the ball and observed the Thunder's defense, and always felt weird.

Without thinking too much, An Jie turned around directly and planned to break through. However, Morris's reaction speed was also not slow, and he quickly blocked Anjie's breakthrough route. Anjie wants to pass the ball, but finds that he has nowhere to pass!

Hard-headed, An Jie shot at the baseline against the defense. However, the orange-red basketball still fell into the net!

"Anjie's form today was unstoppable, and it was arguably Morris's best defense of the game. However, An Jie still managed to score the ball, and the difference has become 12 points! In the studio of CCTV5, Yu Jia was also full of praise for An Jie's goal.

Everyone thought that it was a wonderful attack that An Jie had just completed, but few people noticed that something was wrong.

In the second attack, An Jie hit a hook shot. There is still no pass, and it is still Anjie's singles.

The third time, Anjie made a foul on Morris under the basket, no passing, no cooperation.

Fourth, fifth, sixth. Six attacks in a row, Anjie didn't pass the ball! It's not because he's alone, but because the Thunder team sees everyone else in the Trail Blazers to death, and Anjie doesn't have the space to pass the ball at all!

However, it was this sixth attack that Anjie missed. Continuously holding the ball and Morris collided hard, Anjie's physical strength was too fast.

Angel felt that what he was facing seemed familiar, and he remembered his experience facing UCLA in college. Root. Holland's trick to defeat the Whirlwind team is to let Anjie play freely with the other people who seem to be not strong in the Whirlwind team. Finally, use UCLA's stronger lineup to drag down An Jie alone!

Now, Jeff. That's exactly what Van Gundy used!

If it weren't for Durant and Westbrook's poor offense, Anjie might have been dragged down a long time ago!

Riccard naturally saw Van Gundy's strategy, but Anjie can continue to score now, so he has not made any adjustments for the time being.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the two good buddies, Durant and Westbrook, when the second quarter ended, the exhausted Anjie still maintained the lead. 45-55, the Trail Blazers ended the first half of the game with a double-digit margin between the two sides.

The fans in the Rose Garden shouted frantically, and the bearded man high-fived the oil tycoon sitting next to him. However, Anjie and Ricard know that they can only take the lead because of the inaction of Westbrook and Durant.

In the second half, who can guarantee that these two guys will continue to slump?

Behind the 10-point lead, there is a danger that cannot be ignored. The lack of strength in the overall roster of the Trail Blazers has begun to become a key target for Van Gundy.
